I recently purchased a new laptop which uses an Express Card Slot / 54mm, rather than a PCMCIA. I was planning on getting an Ubiquiti Super Range Cardbus: http://www.ubnt.com/super_range_cardbus.php4 , but unfortunately it is PCMCIA. Does anyone know of an equal solution that will work with 54mm Express Card Slot? I would rather not get an adapter for USB, etc adding another layer of complexity. My OS is triple boot with Vista, Linux, and Backtrack. I need either a prism 2.5 or Atheros chipset, and need to support rfmon and be able to do packet injection. I saw there were several other Ubiquiti models that might work, but am not sure if they would work in a laptop, and be suitable for indoor use using an omni antenna. I think they are all for outdoor, long range use. 300mW seems to be about perfect for good, indoor coverage, but correct me if I'm wrong. It should also support B/G (A is not as important, but if it does great). Has anyone had success using Express Cards/54mm in these situations and operating systems? I saw there is also a Senao which might work, which is another option, but I need it to support WPA/WPA2 encryption as well. The laptop is an Alienware Aurora M9700. Any advice, recommendations, or thoughts is appreciated. Mike _______________________________________________ Talk mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/talk
